POWER OF PRAYING FOR MISSIONARIES
Monday, April 9, 2018
"It’s Crazy As It’s Getting Real!"
"It’s crazy as it’s getting real!"
A dear friend just wrote this, commenting on us packing up & placing our items in storage.
Each item we pack or give away; yes are just things, but also represent memories for sure. It's: 'Packing up the past to go forward into the future.'
As we told you in our recent newsletter; the Lord gave us a ‘target-date’ to have everyone pray for. We told you April 30th was the target He gave.
We know - God’s Plans are rock solid; thus the clock is ticking.
We are anticipating working for the rest of lives in Africa for the souls of Mozambique 
🇲🇿
We get our tickets when we are fully supported. 
We are on the LAST STRETCH!
WANNA HELP? Whatever the $ amount the Lord leads you - it will be awesome!
Hurry... join us now! & We Love y’all!

MISSIONARIES TO MOZAMBIQUE PRAISE & PRAYER MARCH 2018
MISSIONARIES TO MOZAMBIQUE PRAISE & PRAYER MARCH 2018
PRAISE:
-
We had safe travels to Pennsylvania.
-
God opened ‘surprise’ doors for us to minister and also have mission’s
contacts. (5 meetings in 4 days)
-
We attended a Minister’s Meeting for the area we visited. They had
us share our testimony and missions. They prayed for us and then a lovely
couple hosted us. We connected with a wonderful minister who leads many
outreach ministries.
-
God led us to an amazing lady who owns a coffee shop. We talked
for a couple hours; she shared her heart. We prayed together and she said she
wanted to support us.
-
We attended our First Shabbat Service at a Messianic Jewish
Synagogue. Absolutely beautiful men and woman of God; they were so loving and
whisked up our prayer cards vowing to pray.
-
We ministered as the Key Note Speakers at a large Missions
Banquet. God truly blessed.
-
We were able to share at a beautiful Portuguese Church in N.J. So
loving & giving; we were honored.
-
We got news of others who have increased their monthly support,
and ones who are just now coming on our team as well.
-
We ministered this past Sunday at a church not too far away –
again; a very sweet, loving Body of Christ. The Lord truly moved in Word, and
His sweet spirit touching hearts.
PRAYER:
- That the
Word of God takes root in the hearts we were able to minister to. First,
touching and ministering to them in their areas of need. Also, for the
individuals and churches to go through with their support that enables us to go
work in Africa.
- Many have
let us know they are going to support, and others have actually sent in their
notice that they are. Yet, we have not seen it in the records as of yet. It
does take some time. Thus; it still says we are 85%; yet if ones who for sure
said that they have signed-up, % will go up much higher. Pray this is
completed; in God’s Way and Time.
- Health
- Our Son
Nathan in the Navy. Our son’s closest friend just took his life and this has devastated
Nathan; yet also has ignited him to be a light of hope for Jesus to his fellow
shipmates. Pray for this young man’s family.
- Our parents.
- Daughters
who are in school (Felecia in college & Tabitha in home school).
- For
Mozambique; they still are in the rainy season; floods occur quickly and can be
quite devastating.
- 90% of
Mozambique who do not know Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
- For the
Pastor’s and their families. They pastor sometimes a couple churches, have a
family and work. They need a refreshing, encouragement, wisdom and so much
more. They long to do more; open up new works in new places.
- For our
missionary team. All of them have a multiplicity of job titles. Even though
there is still different focused ministries still happening right in our team:
Lift up
*Helping Hands (for the
disabled and also teaching nutrition with using the Gospel).
*CAM – School K-12
*Soccer Ministry to the
children
*Church Plants
*Seminary (college for
those called into the ministry)
And so much more….
WHAT WE HAVE
DISCOVERED THESE PAST COUPLE YEARS…
Those churches, ministries and
individuals who are passionate about ‘outreach’ including ‘missions’: has a fire so deep for souls. It’s contagious,
so much so they have been experiencing revivals and seeing many come to Christ.
When we connect with the heart-beat of God for souls, nothing else matters in
life. We find what LIFE is …serving Him and leading others to the Cross of Love
(of Jesus).
WE HAVE
ANSWERED THE CALL FROM GOD TO LIVE AND WORK IN AFRICA!
We
are moving there. We are packing up our things, saying our goodbyes and going
to devote what we have left in this life God has given to serve where He has
bid us to go.
It’s
not a mission’s trip. It’s a work…an on-going work for God to serve out His
love to Mozambique.
With
that in mind; that is why mission’s agencies developed the ‘monthly-support-method’;
it’s to protect and supply for missionaries to be sourced so they can be a
resource of God’s many attributes (for us: all over Mozambique’s 11 provinces).
May we encourage you to not only
continue pray for us but also consider supporting Missionaries to Mozambique on
a monthly basis? One Mission Society will let us move forward and get our
tickets when we are funded. It isn’t a whole lot more; we are confident as our
brother’s and sister’s in Christ come along with us we will be well on our way.
God has brought us so far already. We have been told in most every mission’s
agency it takes an average of 2 years for missionaries to raise support (of course
we know God does the raising don’t we). It hasn’t been 2 years yet; will be in
May. We hope and pray we are in Africa by then.

STAY ON THIS JOURNEY
By the Holy Spirit through His Daughter ~Daneille
“You’re blessed when you stay on course,
walking steadily on the road revealed by God.
You’re blessed when you follow his directions,
doing your best to find him.
That’s right—you don’t go off on your own;
you walk straight along the road he set.
You, God, prescribed the right way to live;
now you expect us to live it.
Oh, that my steps might be steady,
keeping to the course you set;
Then I’d never have any regrets
in comparing my life with your counsel.
I thank you for speaking straight from your heart;
I learn the pattern of your righteous ways.
I’m going to do what you tell me to do;
don’t ever walk off and leave me.” Ps. 119:1,2

After
Jesus appealed to Jarius a religious leader to come heal his sick daughter; something happened along the way.
WHEN?
Along the way, the journey or the path! In the midst of travelling
from point A to point B. Something happened!
I don’t
care how old each of us are; this has to be reapplied often to our lives,
doesn’t it? It could be a short trip to the grocery store; a 4 year journey of
college education, or for us; on the JOURNEY
TO MINISTERING IN AFRICA as we raise support here in the United
States. At times, the journey to point B
is quick, then at other times; it is long, lonely and drearisome.
The scripture above; towards the end, the Psalmist writes: “I’ve
learned the pattern of your righteous ways.”
By learning the ‘Pattern of His
Ways’, is seeing how He reveals His Holy Character, that dispels Hope and
Strength. His Ways leave lasting fruit in souls, along with miracles unfolding
in lives (including our own).
What
happened along the way? A DELAY! “A
certain delay brought great blessings and deliverance to one desperate woman,
but a devastating blow to an anxious father.”
{S. Larson}
Mark 5:25-36
“And a woman, who had an issue of
blood twelve years, 26 and
had suffered many things of many physicians….came in the crowd behind, and touched
his garment… she felt
in her body that she was
healed of her plague. 30 And
straightway Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power proceeding from him had gone forth, turned him about in the
crowd, and said, Who touched my garments?
..he said
unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.
35 While he yet
spake, they come from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the
Teacher any further? 36 But
Jesus, [j]not heeding the word
spoken, saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not, only believe.”
I am pretty sure Jairus would have liked for Jesus to
‘make-haste!’ There is just no time for anything; this is life and death…my
daughter’s life! Yet, Jesus stopped; for
one little lady; who was considered as a ‘nobody’ to many. He healed her body,
and encouraged her heart. What a lesson to be applied for every one of us!
As we are walking seemingly, a rather long journey of raising support; God has connected us with
hundreds of precious men, woman and children. We have been deeply touched, and
even changed by so many –as we have walked
this journey. Also, God has
taken us on paths to individuals that needed God’s Love in various forms. At
the grocery store, on the streets in a city, in churches, our neighborhood, and
in homes. Praying with brothers and sisters, the homeless, sick and hurting is
our daily routine.
YET; we are trying to get to AFRICA!
I shared this story once before; a seasoned missionary lady, Velma
Hardig stopped me and said to me; “When God is finished with you in Newton (in
the U.S.) you will be in Africa.” This has WIDENED the eyes of my heart; I find
myself looking everywhere with my spiritual eyes at everyone I see and hear. I
want to be “The Hands & Feet of Jesus” here as well as in Africa.
Many are asking when we are leaving for Africa. I want to tell
them; “In a few weeks!” Who knows, that may happen! But, I don’t know when for
sure. I know it will be soon. We are getting closer each week. We are over ¾
through the fund raising process.
Meanwhile, we want to STOP as Jesus did along the Journey; “…walking steadily on the road revealed by
God.” {From the passage above.}
Pray for us; for our strength to ‘STAY THE COURSE’ - With the Mind
of Christ, walking steadily in the Spirit. We get tired, but: “Greater is He
that is in me…” Right? “His strength is
made perfect in weakness!”
